Planners will have less time for public inquiry

LAKE COUNTY -- Beginning Monday the Lake County Community Development Department will reduce the amount of time planners will be available for public inquires at the counter or over the phone.

Planners will be available to the public from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m.

All, including Building Division and Code Enforcement activities, will remain available to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The reduction in availability of planning division staff to the public is being initiated in order to integrate part of the code enforcement program work into the planning division, as well as to allow the existing staff to be able to expedite projects that will contribute to job creation and economic development.

Availability will be regularly evaluated based on staffing resources and increasing demand for services.

Development Department at 263-2221.

The department is on the third floor of the Lake County Courthouse, located at 255 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport.
